A hand-rendered, all-purpose roman with irregular, ink-worn outlines and subtly uneven stroke weight. Letterforms are mostly upright with gently wandering verticals, soft curves, and slightly inconsistent proportions that create a natural, human rhythm. Terminals often look dry or chipped, producing a distressed edge texture, while counters remain open enough to keep the alphabet recognizable. Overall spacing feels loose and variable, reinforcing the informal, made-by-hand character across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where texture is part of the message—posters, packaging, labels, and editorial headlines that benefit from a handmade or worn-print feel. It can also work in themed projects (craft, rustic, indie) when paired with cleaner body text for contrast.
The texture and wobble give the face a casual, crafty energy—more like marker or brush lettering than a precise print font. Its imperfect contours read friendly and approachable, with a lightly nostalgic, DIY tone that can also suggest worn signage or rough-printed ephemera.
Likely designed to simulate natural, imperfect lettering and distressed ink edges—capturing the warmth of hand-drawn forms while staying legible enough for practical display use.
Capitals are simple and sturdy with rounded corners and occasional asymmetric joins, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable construction with small, understated details (like compact bowls and modest ascenders/descenders). Numerals follow the same roughened contour language, maintaining consistency of texture and stroke behavior in running text.
